What about sibs? I'm sandwiched between two brothers & wore lots of unisex clothing. Anything expensive, like winter coats, had to be navy.
My sister and I are two years apart- she's very traditionally feminine so wasn't harmed as much by the expectation that she be so.

My brother is ten years younger, and we've always had a close relationship. He always jokingly called me his older brother, growing up.

Awww that's so sweet & heartwarming and perfect

She's straight, I guess? I know so many queer femmes who had to reclaim femininity, to reject their socialization & own it for themselves.
